Part Boyz in the Hood, part Risky Business, Rick Famuwiya's film about a trio of friends who inadvertently become drug dealers "offers a brand of comic-book charm with an optimistic, yet never sentimental, multi-cultural mix that's revolutionary in its now subtle way," according to CelebStoner reviewer Roy Trakin. Newcomer Shameik Moore plays Malcolm, a straight-A student who fends off jocks and dealers as he rides around Inglewood on his BMX bike. When he's stuck with a bag containing a large quantity of Ecstasy, Malcolm, Diggy (Kiersey Clemons) and Jib (Tony Revolori) decide to sell the stuff on the Internet. Watch the trailer here.
